You're a real pro Sam. Thanks! Looking forward to see your example when you can get to it. I wish there was time and a way to have a seminar somewhere we all could learn to use the great stuff available. It's really just a matter of time I guess. Where do we want to spend it, use it. Of course a little brain power doesn't hurt either.

Thank you for the excellent function. It was more than I could have dreamed of asking for. Seems to be the Swiss Army Knife of date functions. I hope I can return the favor in the future. We all now benefit.

And thanks to the others (especially HPW for the excellent plugin) who have contributed so much to this forum. It is most appreciated.

This external app can run hidden and log all incoming messages in a subdir. Then the app can process them whenever it is possible. The filename for each message is generated from the newLISP 'date-value (now)'
